S.O.S. ANTWERPEN RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS DISTINCTION
Isabelle Devos, Sarah Heynssens and Sven Vrielinck were awarded an Annual Prize for Science Communication by the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium (Koninklijke Academie van België) and the Young Academy (Jonge Academie) for the project S.O.S. Antwerp.
In the citizen science project on demography and death in Antwerp, citizens not only participated in data collection and analysis, they were also encouraged to engage in historical research themselves. The jury awarded S.O.S. Antwerp the distinction because, thanks to training, assignments and exchanges with team members, citizens gained real insight into the process of science .
